B2ST’s Kikwang shocked with fellow members’ ranking of his appearance on ‘MBC Weekly Idol’

Continuing from last week’s episode with B2ST on MBC Every1‘s ‘Weekly Idol‘, this week’s episode will feature a hilarious vote on the visual appearance ranking among the B2ST members.

Usually not known to be lacking visually in any aspect with his charming smile and features, Kikwang was surprisingly ranked low amongst the members and also faced embarrassment because of his rank. Having a hard time believing the rank that the other members gave him, Kikwang incredulously exclaimed, “Am I really that ugly?” and was dumbfounded in shock, bringing much laughter and amusement to the audience and set.

The whole episode with the actual ranking will air on September 5th at 6PM KST on MBC Every1′s ‘Weekly Idol’, so stay tuned!

IU reveals she felt rivalry with Kikwang while dubbing ‘Sammy’s Adventure 2′

Singer IU revealed that she felt rivalry with B2ST‘s Kikwang while dubbing for the movie ‘Sammy’s Adventure 2‘.

IU attended the VIP screening for ‘Sammy’s Adventure 2′ recently at Seoul’s Yongsan’s CGV where she stated, “I recorded my dubbing while listening to what Kikwang did.”

She continued, “I felt somewhat of a rivalry. I think I didn’t feel that way about Kim Won Hyo sunbae because he was so natural, but I felt some rivalry with Kikwang. He did it really well. He really seemed like [the character] Ricky. I recorded while being motivated by listening to Kikwang’s recording. ”

On another note, ‘Sammy’s Adventure 2′ tells the tale of two fishes named Sammy and Ray who are caught in an aquarium in Dubai.

IU’s role is Sammy’s granddaughter ‘Ella’, Kikwang’s role is Ella’s friend ‘Ricky’, and comedian Kim Won Hyo’s role is the aquarium dictator ‘Big D’.

The movie will be hitting theaters on August 2nd.

B2ST and Psy discuss going head-to-head on music charts

At the press conference for their fifth mini-album ‘Midnight Sun‘ on the 20th, B2ST revealed that they have been enjoying Psy‘s newest tracks from ‘Gangnam Style‘.

Kikwang expressed, “We’ve been enjoying listening to Psy hyung’s songs. They’re really great. However, we are confident in our music as well.”

B2ST went up against Psy on July 15th, the release of Psy’s album and the group’s pre-release track, “Midnight“. ‘Gangnam Style’ came out on top on digital charts while “Midnight” followed closely behind.

Psy commented, “I was surprised myself because I hadn’t expected it. Since it is just a pre-release track, I don’t think it’s fair to call it a full-on battle.”

B2ST’s title track is scheduled for release on the morning of July 22nd, when they’ll be stepping away from their clean image for a more rebellious feel with “Beautiful Night”.

Yoseob stated, “I wanted to put what we learned from our world tour into the album. I learned how to have fun on stage. I feel that there haven’t been many opportunities for us to truly communicate with our fans on stage so far, as our performances have focused more on getting our choreography synchronized or shouting energetically on our own. We lacked communication with the audience, so that’s what [we] wanted to focus on this time. [We] want to show that we, too, are free-spirited men who know what being cool is.”

As of the 21st KST, Psy is leading on major digital charts like Melon and Mnet.
